Willfully ignoring that Golovkin's 33 years old and has been boiling down to 160 since he was 21/22.I agree that people should stop the Floyd GGG talk, Floyd is too old for that challenge.
Also, how are we to take him serious if he is seemingly unaware of what Floyd's doing.
GGG also isn't a big MW, considering he comes in the ring weighing what many JR.MW's like Lara and Andrade do, and less than Canelo.
What's that say about those JR.MW's, or what does that say about GGG.
Canelo is 25, Andrade is 27, Lara is 32(at 5'9 with a narrower frame). Why do you insist on lying so deliberately?Comment

Good points.
Floyd isn't coming back for Golovkin.
Now, if Golovkin wants big money/prestige fights/unify/etc then Cotto/Canel at 157 sounds reasonable right about now . . . .Comment

They got a gym full of 5yr olds to ranked contenders I doubt anyone is looking for work. Floyd Sr, Roger & Nate Jones all train other cats already. Idk wuts happening with Rafael Garcia, but I'm sure he can get cutman gigs if he wants or retire (as I think he did for a minute awhile back). And I'm sure most of the other cats do other **** already. I doubt anyone is getting fired fired. Always work at a busy gym like Mayweather's.Comment

Golovkin would get maybe 10% of the pot for a Mayweather fight, while he'd be getting at least 45%/50% of the pot for a Ward fight (doubt that Floyd even lets K2/Golovkin get in on the upside of the US PPV, though K2 may end up with the Germany TV rights to the fight).
Floyd took the short money for the De La Hoya fight; Floyd gave Top Rank(Pacquiao) ~40% of the PPV, gave Cotto ~20%, and Canelo got ~15% of the take. What do you honestly believe that Golovkin would be offered after maybe selling 100k PPVs?
Golovkin would walk away with a bigger actual purse, while also giving his body a chance to enter the ring with some energy in him, if he weren't so chicken**** about fighting Andre Ward. lolComment

Floyd never cuts weight; simply watch the man when he's been in camp, and compare that to what you've come to know about other fighters in camp.Floyd is a retired legend of the sport..with that said i'm not dis*****g his greatness but I will forever dispute this he walks around at 150lbs, that shhh is absolute nonsense. No way in hell is a man his age working out 8,9,10 hours a day to make 147 and walking around only 3lbs heavier when he's not fighting and doing warm up runs. It's just physically impossible. I'm not saying he's dropping 25 pounds for a fight but Floyd has to be physically walking around in the 160's and no he doesn't need to and should not unretire and fight golovkin.
He may try to eat a bit cleaner when getting ready for a fight, but the man still goes about his day, having full-on meals, eating whenever he gets the hankering to eat, whatever he wants.
All Access definitely has its editing issues, but you can't point to any fighter, outside of maybe some heavyweights, who will sit down to a steak dinner within days of their fight.
It's illogical to eat the way that Floyd eats, even if he works out ten hours every day, and get down to 147 from 160.Last edited by Scipio2009; 11-11-2015, 02:00 PM.Comment

Tom Loeffler said it sold 150k PPV buys. Just how Stephen Espinoza said that the Robert Guerrero fight was barely able to sell 1m PPV buys. Cotto's "first PPV", a point ignored by folks who keep bringing up the point, was only carried by one PPV distributor.Where do you pull your 97k from? From "gay online bloggers"?
Or are your reading and comprehension skills as good as your idols?
Promoter Tom Loeffler calls Golovkin's pay-per-view show headlined by a title fight with David Lemieux a success based on the pay-per-view numbers and a sold-out Madison Square Garden.
It sold 150k. Not bad for a first PPV.
Cotto sold 60k on his first PPV.
Keep spreading lies and making a fool out of yourself.
If 97k is an inaccurate figure, you can bet that 150k(whatever the figure needed to be to tell the press that the fight broke even) is just as big a falsehood.Comment

floyd picks golovkin apart, easy work. but receives zero credit because golovkin will be "drained". no point in entertaining this crap. in other news brandon rios weighed in unofficially at 170 vs bradley, so according to golovtard logic he should fight kovalev next.Comment
